It generally presents a couple of /dev/ttyUSB? devices. If you have a 2.6.20+ kernel, it will present 2 /dev/ttyUSB devices, and you should be able to get it working with wvdial or pppd by accessing /dev/ttyUSB0. If you have an earlier kernel, it'll show three devices, one of which is actually a USB mass storage device, and you'll need to make some changes to your configuration to make it work.
-If you have a recent distro such as Ubuntu 9.04 (Intrepid Ibix), it should "just work". A network-manager wizard will popup asking you to configure it, and it will make some attempt at autodetecting your country/provider.

I've copied configs from different sites below to prevent against page disappearance, and have attributed work where appropriate.

+For Vodafone New Zealand the recommended APN is www.vodafone.net.nz. DNS addresses are automatically obtained from the server.

+In Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty), incorrect DNS servers are given in the default settings for Vodafone New Zealand. This needs to be fixed for the connection to work:
+
+Open up the 'Edit connections' dialogue and bring up your Vodafone connection for editing. Choose the tab 'IPv4 Settings'; the tab shows "Method: Automatic (PPP) addresses only" and two (incorrect) DNS servers are listed.
+
+Change the dropdown box to "Method: Automatic (PPP)", the two DNS servers should disappear... otherwise delete them.
+
+Vodafone gives the correct DNS servers automatically during PPP negotiation. The previous setting prevents PPP setting the DNS servers.

This [page|http://kawruhboso.com/?p=3] has some wvdial configs. I've not tested them.
-If you use these configs, remember to change the dial number ot *99# (for VodaFone
NZ). You may also need care with the Init2 and Init3 lines - compare them to the first 2 lines after ' "" ATZ ' in the 3g.chat script mentioned in the pppd section above.
